Magnesium

Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, Magnesium relates to the category “mineral / trace element”. This mineral is an essential nutrient in small amounts; here it is the active substance.
For Magnesium, in practice: Magnesium intake; some salts also serve as an antacid or laxative. Here we are on the nutrient side: an intake, to be distinguished from a conventional treatment.

Do you need a supplement? No.
We put forward no supplement for Magnesium: that would be forcing a need that does not exist. The great majority of medicines call for no particular supplementation, and acknowledging this is part of the way we work. We design a supplement only where the data support it, across five specific classes.
